Legal Recruitment Scotland
A significant number of strategic law firm mergers and alliances being formed in Scotland over the last few years, which has led to an increase in client offering and a need to increase headcount with additional fee earners. This has also led to a more even distribution across office locations and with what we predict to be increased flexibility in terms of working arrangements, the field is more competitive and we are likely to see more alternative options than ever before.
